Very true...or they're too busy trying to find something to breed with to pay 
attention to the music.

Correct again...I was thinking about the "thump and sizzle" comment in the 
car today while listening to Ec8or's "We need a change" (no idea if anybody's 
famliar with this track, it's a relatively well-known digital hardcore track) 
There really IS no midrange to it at all, just gabber style bass, and thrash 
riffs and an air raid siren w/some cymbals on the high end.

My hearing just sucks period, I've got the thumpa thumpa in the car pretty 
much at all times, played metal for years, 6 hours a week in clubs, and 6 
sets of ear tubes later, I'm sure my midrange hearing is long since shot. and 
that's only at age 20...I probably won't be able to hear much of anything by 
40.
